I hatched 3 Silver Penciled Wyandotte chicks (100% hatch on these guys) and I did the "string test" on them before they hatched and it said I had two pullets and a cockerel. That would be awesome right?! Well there are two that have neat little color patterns on them (not the penciling, still too young for that, more like chipmunk patterns), but then I have one who is solid black almost. He has very very little markings compared to the others. You cant even tell he has any other coloring on him until you pick him up and look closely, mostly on his little forehead. I am wondering if this could be an indication of their sex. I have looked and looked and looked and I cannot find anything on these guys, not even so much as a picture (at this age). They are 5 days old as of today (1/12/08). They hatched super early in the morning on the 7th. Any information would be appreciated!!! Thanks!
